What is PRP?
Platelets contain growth factors involved in tissue repair. A simple blood sample is used to obtain plasma with a higher-than-normal concentration of platelets.
Because it is autologous — prepared from the patient’s own blood — PRP is also suitable for patients with latex allergy.

The session
